Publisher's Synopsis
The lectures presented at the Second International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Grid Computing for Engineering, held in Ajaccio, France, in April 2011, are gathered in this volume. Both pure computer science aspects and their applications in computational mechanics and science are addressed. Covering a wide range of theories related to high-performance computing, the topics include industrial finite element analysis, network services for high-performance distributed computing, advanced object-oriented paradigms, general-purpose computing on graphic processing units, large-scale complex structural analysis, preconditioning methods, grid technologies, and grid resource management.
